Scary Movie review – spoof comedy returns but maybe it should have stayed in the 2000s

Successful jokes are thin on the ground in the musty sixth installment of the once-popular parody franchise, taking aim at everything from Scream to SinnersThe Scary Movie series has always depended on timing. Not necessarily in its gagcraft, which has oscillated between occasional sharp jabs and many beyond-broad blows, but in its position on the release schedule. This was especially true of the first installment, which arrived in theaters just a few months after the 2000 release of Scream 3, c

‘Scary Movie’ Review: The Sixth ‘Scary Movie’ Has a Few Choice Gags, but Mostly It’s So Meta It’s Meh

The script is by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans, and Rick Alvarez (the film even makes jokes about how many Wayans there are), and they have bound themselves to the Ghostface saga as if it were the only thing that mattered in horror.
